Question
1997 Chrysler Sebring 2.5 JXI how do u remove or take of the valve cover gaskets to replace gaskets n tube seals??

Answer
Hi David,
I assume that you are speaking about the spark plug tube seals. On the front bank of course you simply have to remove the valve cover and replace the seals and then put the valve cover back on with a new gasket for it. On the rear bank of cylinders you have a multi-step process that involves removing the upper plenum of the intake manifold. It is about a 15-step process and then the reverse. You need to have the pages from the manual to see the figures that go along with the text.
I can xerox copy and postal mail you the pages. So if you want them tell me your postal mailing address and I will do that.
